Work has always been a struggle, but since I went on a costal breathing course I feel like I have the tools available to help myself when things are bad. It's hard work, though, and easy to not do it and suffer as a result! The phone has always been the worst thing for me - my anxiety over calling strangers or answering the office phone basically just stopped me doing it. But I'm gradually getting over this. I'm not sure the phone will ever be a friend, but it's certainly not as much of an enemy anymore.
